Baba Daljit Singh Chicago in new immigration fraud row
WSN Network

Patiala: Self styled Baba Daljit Singh of Chicago continues to reel under trouble with the Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) now instructing the Patiala police to register a case against him on the basis of a complaint filed by a Patiala resident Gurmail Singh who had accused the district police administration of not taking any action in an immigration fraud allegedly committed by the Baba.

Commission members LR Roojam and KK Bhatnagar have said Patiala SSP Ranbir Singh Khattra must get the matter probed. The panel has set a deadline for the complete report as the next date of hearing which is January 8, 2010.

Gurmail Singh had approached the Patiala police on October 10, 2009 for registration of case against Baba Daljit Singh  who, he had alleged, had duped him of Rs 16 lakh on the pretext of sending him to America. The plaintiff claimed that Daljit usurped the entire amount even though he did not fulfill his promise.

The complainant said he had given Rs 6 lakh and Rs 10 lakh in two installments to the Baba who was permanently settled in the US. He said he last asked for return of his money in July 2009 but after not getting a positive response, chose to tell the entire truth to the Patiala police but it too did not initiate any action.

He then approached the PHRC. Taking the cognisance of the complaint, the PSHRC issued orders, dated November 5, 2009, which reads, “On consideration of the allegations made in the complaint, the commission finds that a prima facie case is spelt out as envisaged under Section 12 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, and hence the complaint in this regard be registered as a case and SSP Patiala should submit an inquiry report, positively by next date of hearing.”
